 You know, you could just download the package and look at the
 changelog contained within. That is what it is for.
 

This is not the point. Surely I could download the package
sources and build it on my own, if necessary. But I would
prefer that the promised functionality works as expected.
Updating the changelog file in sync with the upload of the
source package doesn't sound that difficult to me.

Esp. when upgrading an essential (and probably huge) package
like glibc, thunderbird, or a new Xserver I would like to know
what has changed without manually downloading the package.

 
 Libasound is 300K big, accounting for the shrink from 5.9MiB to
 5.6MiB. Where do you get 725KiB from?
 

Thats what aptitude says:

Not source (although that works too), binary.

Aparently it is.

Maybe the debian-amd64 1.8 version was bigger for some reason. No clue.

Hi folks,

AFAICS ia32-libs shrunk for about 725KByte between 1.8 and
1.9. But using aptitude I can review the changelog. It is
not available.

What has been dropped?

Would it be possible to provide the changelog by default,
esp. for such a radical change?


Many thanx

Harri

broken ia32-libc6 / libc6-i386

2006-03-12 Thread Hamish Moffatt
ia32-libc6 and libc6-i386 both contain /lib/ld-linux.so.2; neither of
these seem to be obselete and both of them seem to be required on my
system.. 

What's the newer naming?  What's the correct resolution of the conflict?  


thanks,
Hamish

Specifically, qemu (for example) depends on ia32-libc6, which depends on
lib32gcc1. That library in turn depends on libc6-i386.

Oops looks like this is caused by my old amd64-archive installation.
Move along, nothing to see here..
